Traditionally Tarot packs are usually kept wrapped
in silk in their own separate boxes. This does help
keep them safe and also silk seems to be a very
good material for containing energy raised during
meditation exercises. Every now and then lay your
cards out and either smudge them with a smudge
stick or allow incense to be burned all around
them. This is especially useful if you have allowed
other people to handle them and will cleanse them.
Now you have your own interpretations recorded
we will look briefly at the first half of the Major
Arcana as energetic forms. Tarot packs vary in
their interpretations and the order of the major
arcana. The pack I use the most is a very popular
one called The Mythic Tarot by Juliet SharmanBurke and is based on the Greek Myths. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
worry if the order of yours is different the basic
energetic aspects are virtually the same in all.

0

The Fool - Potential Energy about to be
released.

8

Justice - Balancing energy, energy restored.

9

Temperance - Moderate energy, energy in
flux, movement but between two places.

20 Judgement - Karmic energy, cause and effect.
21 The World - Universal complete energy.
This breaks them down into their most simplistic
energetic forms. There is much more to each of them
than this. But by keeping it simple you can add your
own layers of revelations. Next time we will begin the
journey into the people in your life as revealed by the
court cards.
